[ slashdot.org hat firmly on head, FU set to me ] Does FreeBSD support hardware crypto? There'll shortly be a story on /. about OpenBSD's hardware crypto support, in the form of the HiFn 7751 chip. OpenBSD recommend buying them from www.powercrypt.com. If you go there you'll see that FreeBSD support is listed, but there are no details. If FreeBSD's got support for this card (even if it's through third party drivers) I'll recast the story so it's more of a "BSD supports hardware crypto", rather than being solely OpenBSD. But if OpenBSD have it first they get the honours :-) If you're using this (or any other) card for hardware crypto, can you drop me a line? If you can include real-world performance details as well that'd be great. N -- Internet connection, $19.95 a month. Computer, $799.95. Modem, $149.95. Telephone line, $24.95 a month. Software, free. USENET transmission, hundreds if not thousands of dollars. Thinking before posting, priceless. Somethings in life you can't buy. For everything else, there's MasterCard. -- Graham Reed, in the Scary Devil Monastery To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
